A simple script for creating posts

I’m very new to jekyll. I think the fact that is a simple and lightweight system is appealing to me. In trying it out, the one thing I wasn’t able to find was a an easy way to create _posts entries. I also noticed that jekyll did not have any built-in capability to create these files for me, so i create a script for myself to do it easily.

script: [create-post.py][gh-create-post]

# example usage

$ python create-post.py -s 'A new blog entry'

$ python create-post.py -s 'Another entry' -t blogs,code

# help
$ python create-post --help
Usage: create-post.py [options]

Creates a basic template for posts

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s TITLE, --title=TITLE
                        Title of blog post
  -f FORMAT, --format=FORMAT
                        Format of blog post
  -l LAYOUT, --layout=LAYOUT
                        Template file should use
  -t TAGS, --tags=TAGS  Tags for blog entry

If jekyll does do have the ability to create these files in the _posts directory, please let me know. [gh-create-post]: https://github.com/sijis/sijis.github.io/blob/master/create-post.py
